If you want to use the exact recips the link lists provide, it almost demands fewer recips to keep the site looking clean.
Ah, my bad...just assumed PK wanted her recip above the enter link like almost all other link sites. If she's good with it, that's all that matters 
The mouseover comment pertains to the 'chat free with blah blah blah' part of your mouseovers. Most link sites prefer a simple url only mouseover if mouseovers are used at all. Ex. "www.domain.com"
Also, just noticed you've got java script on the main page. Another no no on free sites for many link lists...mine included. Too many exploits and lack of webmaster control when pulled from another domain.
Probably the simplest way to find out what link sites will list in their live webcams category is to look at some of the sites listed. Personally, when I build for cams sites...I do so with still images. Using the live cams as the upsell. You will find variance in what link lists will accept in their cams category. When I run across a link list that won't list still images in the cams category, I submit to amateur.
As to acceptable free site structure, I think most list owners are at lease somewhat flexible. Again, take a look at what's listed at some of the lists and you'll get a pretty good idea of what it takes to get listed. However, a single page of recips...followed by a page of javascript...probably isn't going to get listed in many places 
Think that addresses your questions
One thing though, don't want you to think I'm raggin on ya here Beholder. Everyone has a learning curve when first getting into free sites. You're in the best place you can be to learn how to build sites that DO get listed |
Before I listed my site on the link lists that I did list it on, I researched them and checked the recip requirements. Everyone has their own unique demands as far as link placement goes (some require index page, others are more lenient) and link type. As I said before, I like the graphic links because they stand out more, but if it's going to get me docked points to use so many graphical ones, then I can go back and change the ones that allow you to make your own link or have simple text ones.
I don't know if PK is OK with my link placement yet as I have not heard back from her.
The javascript is necessary to embed the live cams directory into the site. My server is not the same as the sponsor's server and I do not have authoring capability on the sponsor's server, so this would seem to be my only option to generate a live list of what girls are online. Personally, I'd prefer using PHP, but some link lists consider that a dealbreaker because cheaters apparently use PHP. The mouseovers on the live cams page are also not under my control. It took 3 months just to get the javascript implemented by the sponsor site's owner, so I'm not sure if I want to wait another 3 months for him to knock up something else. By that time, the domains will have expired and it'll be a moot point.
Still images for cam sites? So, for example, you grab a bunch of the profile pics of the girls, put them on the page, and then have each picture link to the live "Who's Online" page, like I've seen others do?
I know you're not ragging on me, but I've seen too many sites get listed on link lists or come back in search results from google that when you go to the site, and see a picture of a girl that looks good, and click on her pic, you go somewhere completely where you were not expecting to go. I guess I wanted my site that if you clicked on Jemma's live cam, you went to Jemma's live chat room, instead of winding up at some entrance page that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the picture you clicked on.
